Description
Camelot – A Rare Opportunity in a Spectacular Setting. Camelot enjoys a truly dramatic and elevated setting between Ceanchor Road and Barren Hill, nestled in the southern reaches of Howth – an area renowned for its prestigious homes and breathtaking coastal views. Constructed circa 1912, this charming family residence was considered innovative for its time and now presents a wonderful opportunity for new owners to modernise and create the home of their dreams in one of Dublin’s most scenic and desirable locations. Set on an elevated site along a stretch affectionately known to locals as Somali Village, the property is part of a unique collection of homes built with foresight and ingenuity. In 1912, a pioneering Irish builder overcame the challenges of the steep terrain by designing stilted homes that allowed for garage access and pedestrian entry at street level – a feature that remains today. Camelot is one of these rare and highly sought-after properties, boasting uninterrupted southerly views across the stunning sweep of Dublin Bay. On clear days, the coastline sparkles under the sun, with panoramic vistas extending to the Dublin Mountains. In the middle distance, pastoral views open up across Bellingham’s Farm, where the much-loved Howth Old Irish goats and grazing horses add to the charm of this idyllic setting. Several nearby properties have been substantially extended, making full use of the sloping topography to create expansive terraces ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining – a possibility that could equally be explored here, subject to planning permission. Architecturally, Camelot is a fine example of an Edwardian Arts and Crafts-style dwelling, with many original features still in place. These include pine floorboards, panelled doors, decorative coving and traditional fireplaces – all offering character and heritage appeal. The property is a detached two-storey home with a pitched roof and south-westerly orientation, set on a rectangular site of approximately 0.25 acres backing onto Shielmartin Hill. At street level, there is a double garage, while a pedestrian entrance and pathway meander through the tiered front garden, leading to the main house. To the rear, the terraced garden features a detached utility room and steps rising to the upper boundary, where mature planting offer further potential. Properties in this highly coveted location rarely come to market, making this a truly special opportunity. Viewing is highly recommended. Click to view Virtual Tour and YouTube video.
